Re: increase in child support for exwife after remarriage?
Either parent is entitled to a modification of child support whether upward or downward as long as there has been a substantial change in circumstances to warrant this change. If the ex-wife was not working when the child support amount was calculated, and she is now working, then this may qualify as a substantial change in circumstances to warrant a downward modification (lower amount of child support). However, I would need more facts to make a final determination. The new spouse's salary is not considered in this computation and neither are any children which they may have together.
